Prader-Willi Syndrome and Early-onset Morbid Obesity Natural History Clinical Protocol
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Group 1 and Group 2 for Prader-Willi Syndrome and Obesity. Completed, enrolled 392 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects about 1 in 14,000 people in the United States. As the most commonly identified genetic cause of obesity, PWS is often confused with Early-onset Morbid Obesity (EMO). Individuals with EMO show some signs of PWS, but clinically do not have PWS. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical features and genetic basis of PWS and EMO, and to determine how these conditions affect a person throughout a lifetime.
